Do you want to know more about MySnookerStats?  On this page, you'll find answers to some of the questions our users have asked.

How long does it take to record my statistics?

No time at all, because MySnookerStats does what you have to do anyway - keep score.

Simply by pressing the buttons on your mobile phone keypad, you can use MySnookerStats to keep track of your match.  And while it's doing the sums, it's also collecting your stats, ready to show you on the MySnookerStats.com website.

Do both players need to be members of MySnookerStats?

No, you can record a match even if the person you're playing against isn't a member.  And because MySnookerStats is so easy to use, it will only take you a moment to show each new opponent how to keep score while you're at the table.

But don't forget, only MySnookerStats subscribers can join a virtual league.  So if a group of you do sign up together, it's a lot more fun.

Why do I have to press different buttons for a missed pot and a safety shot?

Telling MySnookerStats what you were trying to do helps build up a picture of your game's strengths and weaknesses.

When you play safe, you're not trying to make a pot - so it would be pretty unfair if it counted against your potting average.  On the other hand, if you miss a pot but your opponent misses too, that shouldn't count as a success for your safety play!

What button should I press if I miss a shot-to-nothing?

A shot-to-nothing is a special case, because it's both an attempted pot but very much with safety in mind.

To get the very best out of MySnookerStats, always be honest about what you intended.  If the main idea was to pot and you just took precautions in case you didn't, press 0 for a missed pot.  If you hoped to pot the ball but were mainly playing for safety, press 9 for a safety shot.

If your opponent is scoring for you and mis-reads your intent, you can press # to take back the last entry, and then press the button which matches what you wanted to do.

What if we need to take a break in the middle of a match?

At any time, you can "end" the match you're currently playing, then "continue" it once you're both ready to resume.  Of course, it's only polite to complete the current frame before taking a break!

What happens if I need to make or take a call or text in the middle of a match?

Depending on your phone, you should be able to take a call or read a text without interrupting MySnookerStats.  However, you may need to exit MySnookerStats in order to make a call or write a text.  After you're finished, just restart MySnookerStats, and choose the option to continue your last match, which will have automatically been saved to your phone's memory.

What if my snooker club has a "no mobile phones" rule?

MySnookerStats is completely silent, so using your phone to record the match won't distract other players.

In our experience, the few clubs which have rules about phones simply don't want them to ring during a match.  Remember to set your handset to silent mode before you begin, and you'll be fine.

Can I use MySnookerStats if we're using a scorer?

Certainly.  MySnookerStats is very easy to use, so you can simply hand your phone over to whoever's keeping score.

Can I make up my own UserIDs to distinguish my opponents (e.g. 1 through 50)?
